It's a very small office. Only 11 of us including the 2 doctors! We don't even have an office manager!! I guess I could have lied about where, but that's not me. Besides, I'm not ashamed of where. If anything, beaurocracy (sp?) of our own great country's health system has led to people going outside the US. It's as though insurance was started or is still ran by the mafia!

Woohoo!!! He said yes!!!!
-
The contact person who administers our 401k checked into it for me and it's not marked where you can obtain it for financial hardship (medical included in that). The addition of that has to be amended. Or he said the only other way to get it is to quit and I love where I work and who I work with, do I don't really want to do that unless I HAVE to!

I'm laughing like an idiot, but I haven't had surgery yet!
-
So my plan b is only ONE STEP AWAY!!! Gotta beg my boss to amend the retirement for hardship purposes. If he does this, I have the money for surgery! I'm so wishfully thinking that my bags are practically packed! Lol! Prayers now that he agrees!!!

Unsupportive Husband Thinks Sleeve Wont Work
MGM replied to melissamae99's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every time I talk to my hubs about it, he thinks I want what my sister had (a tummy tuck). He doesn't get it. He dies t understand that I'm slowly dying. Our ins doesn't cover it, he won't consign to finance it and I'm doing all I can to get my 401k out to get it done in Tijuana. I feel if I just 'save' I'll be dead by the time I have enough. Discouraged. -
Thanks all. It's a no go. On to plan b.

No sugar coating needed for me! My "when" depends on finances. Hopefully within the next 6 months. I will be going alone and I'm ok with that! Keep me posted!!! Good luck!

Thanks all!! I'm still waiting! but it is a weekend and I applied at 2am

I want to use Dr Kelly as well, when it's my turn! Researching him online and I feel comfortable with my decision. All the good on this thread makes me even more comfortable!

It says 'no results found'?

3 weeks liquid? I think the preop diet scares me worse than the rest of it! If I'm able to get it I'll have to get some opinions on products! Good luck and prayers going up for you. Keep me posted on your progress!

Oh and I live your profile pic. I have a 10 year old pug named Molly. The best, sweetest, loving, smelly dogs ever! She's my baby girl!

My insurance doesn't either, and going out of the country is my only option due to funds. Thanks you and good luck to you! It's so hard living like this!

600 # Man Cut From His Home, So Very Sad
MGM replied to former_vbg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
And yet it's amazing how most insurances will not cover this surgery while there is still hope. I'm 5'4" 262lbs there is still hope for me and my insurance covers nothing. If they find out my high blood pressure is even weight induced they will stop covering appointments, medicine and anything related to obesity. Sick isn't it? I want this surgery so badly I downloaded this app just for the information til I can save the money for Mexico! -
Yet a another reason why I am jealous! Trying to find a way to afford the surgery. My insurance sucks !

Asking For A Friend Who Is Self-Pay.....cost And Recommendations?
MGM replied to Queen of Crop's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No one will go with me either cause the doctor I want to go to is in Tijuana!!! WOOOOO. SO SCARY! Anyway, I have to save more money first ( but I am a strong person when it comes to doing things alone. It's less complicated! Anyway, for all of you who have had it done already...JEALOUS!
